The US Should Exit the UN

The US Should Exit the UN The US alone owes $2.196 billion to the regular budget and $1.8 billion to separate peacekeeping operations, which amounts to about one-quarter of UN funding. Without it, the UN will be sorely diminished in status.

The UN Must Go!

The UN Must Go!: There can be no debating that the UN is now unable to prevent the very wars, hate, injustice, and instability it was created to alleviate.

Connecting the Dots between the WHO and UN Security Council Reform

Connecting the Dots between the WHO and UN Security Council Reform Consistent with the belief that every crisis is also an opportunity, the current global flux created by the crisis of multilateralism provides an exceptionally favourable confluence of circumstances for a transformative redesign of the architecture of international health governance.

Hey Hey Ho Ho – The UN has Got to Go!

Hey Hey Ho Ho – The UN has Got to Go!: President Donald Trump’s blunt assessment of the United Nations in his Sept. 23 address wasn’t just another form of political theater. It served as a reality check for an institution that has long sacrificed its purpose and mission for pretenses and spectacle, and Americans, for the most part, have noticed this.

Trump Created An ‘Emperor’s New Clothes’ Moment At The UN

Trump Created An ‘Emperor’s New Clothes’ Moment At The UN: During his barnstorming UN speech, Trump told the UN and the EU hard truths that the leaders will ignore but that their people were desperate to hear.

Eighty Years of US Bankrolling the UN is Enough

Eighty Years is Enough: The United Nations has long been a fixture of New York City, headquartered on Manhattan’s East Side. While the UN was founded on noble principles -- to promote peace, security, and cooperation -- its presence in the U.S. has come at a significant cost to taxpayers, New Yorkers, and our national priorities.

As we approach the 80th anniversary of the 1947 Headquarters Agreement, which established the legal framework granting the UN privileges and immunities necessary for its operations at its headquarters in New York City, while ensuring access and certain obligations under U.S. law, it’s time to ask a fundamental question: Is hosting the UN in America still serving the interests of the American people?

The answer, increasingly, is no.

Harris-Biden try to put the US under United Nations sovereignty

Harris-Biden try to put the US under United Nations sovereignty: When five different people send you a link, you know that something very important has happened, even if the drive-by media aren’t trumpeting it on their outlets. In this case, it’s Robert Williams’ report at the Gatestone Institute that, in September, the Harris-Biden administration, without fanfare, adopted a UN pact that gives the UN and the World Economic Forum (“WEF”) control over American speech, foreign policy, and, possibly, internal sovereignty. Thankfully, while the administration can sign someone’s name on the dotted line, the Constitution means that signature is invalid. But we’re not in the clear: That invalidity works only if we don’t have a government that acts as if the UN pact applies.

The UN’s Pathetic Attempt to Rule the World

The UN’s Pathetic Attempt to Rule the World: The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) opened its 79th session on September 24 with a week of speeches by representatives of 134 nations (out of a total of 193 members states, with another 118 observer entities and organizations). The UN is officially a member state organization, so it was appropriate to provide a forum for national leaders to express their points of view. The problem is that the UN’s bureaucracy thinks of itself as more than a forum for international politics. It is a large institution wanting to set a global agenda as a prototype world government. Its word-salad theme for the new session is "Leaving no one behind: acting together for the advancement of peace, sustainable development and human dignity for present and future generations."
